Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin arrives at the Hale Boggs Federal Building and U.S. District Courthouse to appear in federal court for an arraignment on public corruption charges in New Orleans, Wednesday. Nagin pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he accepted more than $200,000 in bribes plus free trips and other gratuities in exchange for helping contractors secure millions of dollars in work for the city. U.S. Magistrate Sally Shushan set Nagin's bond at $100,000 during his arraignment on charges that include bribery, wire fraud and filing false tax returns. She also set a preliminary trial date of April 29. The charges against Nagin are the product of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen and a prison sentence for a former city vendor. His arraignment marked a rare public appearance for Nagin, who now lives in Frisco, Texas, and has kept a low-profile since he left office in 2010. less

Bosnian man Dimitrije Tatic, shows the rusty, egg-shaped rock and cracks on its surface in the village of Kostajnica 200 kms north of Sarajevo, on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013. A stone quarry in Bosnia has become a popular draw for the locals in the wake of the meteor explosion over Russia last week. Few years ago, workers in the quarry in Kostajnica dug out a massive, rusty, egg-shaped rock, which everyone there believes is a meteorite because of an old tale passed down from generation to generation in this small central Bosnian town. "Old people, 104 years old, told us that their elderly told them about a huge rock which fell here from the sky some 200 years ago," quarry owner Dimitrije Tatic said. "They believed that it feel off the moon. It was so hot that it was impossible to approach it and also when it fell all the houses in the vicinity collapsed," he added. The rock that is estimated to weigh 7 tons started drawing visitors since a meteor exploded over Russia's Ural Mountains last week leaving nearly 1,200 people injured. less
